The comic artwork of Ryan Claytor.

I hope you all have been doing well, I’ve been pretty busy with this comic. It’s taken a lot of time and I’ve actually gotten a little behind schedule due to the snowstorm and a lot of class work since we have finals just around the corner. I’m hoping over the Thanksgiving break I can get back on schedule, and I’ll have more images to show you soon. I’ve been working mostly on getting my inks done for the pages I have penciled out, and I’m getting better at inking the differences between background elements and foregrounded subjects. That means the parts of the image which are closer to the viewer have thicker lines which puts more of an emphasis on them and the areas behind get thinner lines so it mimics how we see things in real life (big up close, small in the distance).

While illustrating, I keep Buffy The Vampire Slayer running in the background. Having a constant noise helps to keep me working.

Speaking of working, Professor Claytor has also involved me in another project he’s working on right now, but it’s a super top-secret mission. All I can tell you is that it involves color flatting some of his illustration work. Once it’s done I’ll make sure to tell you guys.

On that note, I should get back to my comic and other projects. I’ll talk to you guys in a couple of weeks. I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving!
